Charles Spurgeon highlights that Israel's repentance was shallow and "half-hearted." They turned to God only to escape their suffering, not because they genuinely hated their sin. Once God provided relief, they returned to their idolatry. This serves as a powerful warning to examine our own hearts: do we repent of sin itself, or just its painful consequences?
